Product Overview

ACETONE 99.5% AR/ACS is a high-purity solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where precision and consistency are paramount. This analytical reagent (AR) and American Chemical Society (ACS) grade acetone ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive procedures such as solvent extraction, equipment cleaning, and chromatographic analysis. Its low moisture content and high volatility enhance efficiency in reactions and evaporation processes. The solvent is manufactured under stringent quality controls to meet international standards, ensuring reproducibility in experimental results. Its clear, colorless appearance and characteristic odor make it easily identifiable, while its compatibility with a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds broadens its utility in diverse lab protocols. Proper storage in tightly sealed containers away from ignition sources preserves its integrity, extending shelf life and maintaining performance.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between AR and ACS grade acetone?

AR grade acetone is tested for purity and suitability for general analytical procedures, while ACS grade meets stricter specifications set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring higher consistency for critical applications.

2. Can this acetone be used for HPLC sample preparation?

Yes, 99.5% AR/ACS acetone is suitable for HPLC sample preparation due to its low impurity profile, which minimizes interference in chromatographic separations.

3. How should I store acetone to prevent contamination?

Store acetone in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Use tightly sealed, chemical-resistant containers to avoid moisture absorption and evaporation.

4. Is this acetone compatible with plastic containers?

Acetone can dissolve or degrade certain plastics like polystyrene and polyethylene. Use HDPE or glass containers for long-term storage to prevent leaks or contamination.

5. What safety precautions should I take when handling acetone?

Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat to avoid skin and eye contact. Work in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, as acetone vapors are flammable and can cause dizziness or irritation.
